To /LZ Z whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, EDWARD McCormick, of Syracuse, county of Onondaga, in the State of New York, a citizen of the United States,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in GlobefOilers, of which the following 1s aspecifcation, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation; Fig. 2, a vertiio cal section; Fig. 3, a transverse section taken on line xx, Fig. 1; and Fig. 4,a detail taken on line y y, Fig. 2.

Similar letters and figures of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

This invention relates to that class of oilers known as globe Oilers,77 which consist of a transparent globe to hold the oil mounted upon a journal-box and provided with the devices and appliances for regulating the automatic flow of the oil to the bearing or surface to be lubricated thereby. My object is to produce such an oiler of improved construction and increased utility. My invention consists in the several novel features of construction and operation hereinafter described, and which are specifically set forth in the claims hereunto annexed. It is constructed as follows:

A is the transparent globe provided at the bottom with a tubular neck, 1, which is screwthreaded to receive a tube, 2, which is provided with a nut-like circumferential rib or projeetion,'3, by which it is screwed into the 3,5 neck 1, and 3 is a washer interposed between the neck 1 and projection 3.

The top of the globe is provided with a flanged opening,4,covered by a cap,5,screwed or otherwise secured thereon, and having a Washer, 6, beneath the cap to make ajoint; and 7 1s a tube internally screw-threaded, formed integral with the cap, or secured thereto in any ordinary manner, and extending d0Wnward into the globe A. Through this cap and tubeI screw the stem 8 of the oil-flow regulator,securedtothelowerend thereof. Through this cap I make also another perforation, 9,

which is provided with a swinging cover, 10,

and through which I ll the globe with oil 5o without disturbing other parts.

In the tube 2, I place the valve 11, consisting of a stem., 12, and neck, 13, and a tluted or corrugated head, 14, the head of the valve fitting the upper end of the tube and lling it, except as to the grooves between the iiutings or corrugations, through which grooves the oil trickles downward onto the contracted neck 13, thence follows the stem 12, down onto the blunt or sharpened point at the bottom of the stem, from which it drops off into the pipe 16, 6o which conducts it to the bearing to be lubricated. Upon the upper end of the tube 2, I form a collar, 17, and at the bottom thereof the seat 18, encircling the base of the collar. Upon the lower end of the stem 8, I place the hollow tubular or concave regulator 19, the concavity of which is large enough to receive the head 14 of the valve,and also the collar 17, and its lower end is adapted to fill the seat 18 when screwed clear down. 7o

It will be readily observed that the farther the regulator 19 is screwed down over the head the more the flow of oil is shut off, and that it is entirely stopped when the regulator is screwed clear down.

My object in having the internally-.screwthreaded tube 7 project downward in the interior ofthe globe is to obtain a greater amount of bearing-surface for the screw-stern 8, thus lpreventing any possible lateral movement So thereof by reason ofsudden jars or concussions to the oiler.

I can, if desired, employ a collar or guard formed integral with the part 3, or otherwise secured, and extending upward a short distance to protect the glass neck 1 from possible fracture or other injury, as represented by dotted lines at 20, Fig. 2, of the drawings; also, if deemed desirable, a lock-nut may be employed on the screw-stem 8, to afford an ad- 9o ditional hold or lock to the stem 8, (and attached regulaton) whereby it is maintained in a possibly more positive position when set to regulate the ilow of oil, as indicated by dotted lines 21 in Fig. 2. 95

Having described myinvention,what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

l. The combination, in a globe-oiler, of the transparent globular oil-holder provided with Ioo a flanged opening at its top and a Screwthreaded neck at its bottom, and all formed integral, a cap inelosing the top-Hangcd opening provided with a cover for the illinghole 5 therein, a threaded opening at the center and a tube in line therewith projecting downward therefrom and integral therewith, a threaded stem fitting through the cap and tube and provided at its lower end with a concave regulaio tor, and a tube removably secured to the neck at the bottom ofthe oil-holder and provided with a valve consisting of a Straight stein, contracted neck, and a iluted head, all constructed and operating together substantially as de- 15 scribed.

2. The combination, in a glebe-oiler, ofthe transparent globular oil-holder having at its perforated base a tube provided with a valve,
